Repercussions for RPGWW
It sucked. Temporarily, everything vanished completely. Fortunately, RPGWW being a gold board, RPGWW posts from 2005 April 22 and backward were able to be restored--backup data of posts is a gold feature. However, posts between April 22 and May 31 were lost, as were all the posts to our non-gold board, The RP Bootcamp.
Also, the old ADV! ezforum and The Phantom Lord's OT Board were eaten whole.
